For therapists, energy workers, bodyworkers, yoga teachers, and those on the path of their own healing.
Chakras are organizational centers for the reception, assimilation, and expression of life force energy. Body-based (somatic) therapies address the issues in our tissues by working with the energetic core of each chakra.
This 5-day training for healers of all stripes gives you a basic foundation in Somatic Therapy through the dynamics of Bioenergetics, Core Energetics, Somatic Experiencing, Formative Psychology, and Anodea Judith’s signature Chakra Therapy. Learn to unlock the defensive patterns hidden beneath consciousness and free up the vital core energy within.
Topics addressed include:
Working with “charge,” the body’s basic life force
The formation and dissolution of body armor
Chakras and childhood development
Chakra diagnostics and body reading
Chakras and Character Structure
Working with trauma and PTSD
Decoding the language of illness.

I have come to the last two workshops (psych. of the Chakras and Mind-Body) with no expectations and they have blown me out of the water with how tremendous they are and how you manage to convey & facilitate experience of such significant & highly charged material!
Anodea is beyond wonderful! She is so present and skilled and an incredibly genuine, loving, compassionate person. Thank you! This was life changing for me!
